The revenue model is indirect: Netflix creates or buys content, generating revenue by signing and keeping subscribers. For years, it tapped the debt markets to fund content creation. Skeptics thought the company might never generate enough revenue to self-finance new content. Bulls always knew content costs would increase over time, but they had faith that subscriber revenue would grow faster and that Netflix eventually would become a self-sufficient, cash-flow-generating machine.</p>\n<p>In the first half of 2021, skeptics had the upper hand, and the stock flatlined.

Netflix added 4.4 million net new subscribers, boosting its total to 213.6 million, well above its own forecast. It expects to add another 8.5 million net new subscribers in the December quarter, in line with its fourth-quarter performance over the past three years.</p>\n<p>Netflix says it will no longer need to borrow to finance new content and expects to be free-cash-flow positive in 2022 and beyond. It has begun buying back stock—$100 million in the latest quarter—while making acquisitions in its core business and in its emerging interest, mobile gaming.</p>\n<p>While the company continues to show rapid subscriber growth in Europe and Asia, growth in the U.S. market has slowed to a trickle. But Co-CEO Reed Hastings still sees a huge opportunity to expand the company’s domestic position. In its quarterly letter to shareholders this past week, Netflix noted that streaming video still accounts for just 28% of overall U.S. TV viewing hours—with Netflix at just 6% of the total—even as consumers continue to cut the cord.</p>\n<p>It is tempting to tie the strong third quarter to the launch of the Korean-language series <i>Squid Game</i>, which, as Netflix noted, was viewed by 142 million households in the first four weeks since launch, making it the company’s most successful new series ever.
